Okay, the weekends are too chaotic for posts I guess. An update, The birthday party went without a hitch. the father of the birthday boy bought Max a popsicle (since he couldn't have ice cream) and a taco salad with only lettuce, meat, and tomato since he couldn't have pizza. What a relief!!
Saturday:
breakfast: apple cinnamon muffin
snack: rice cakes and apple sauce
lunch: half of a sandwich and taco salad
snack: popsicle, some candy (skittles)
supper: chicken enchilada; a recipe from the internet.
Max pretty much isn't very excited about any meal I have made that is gluten free. We have done well with finding butter replacement and cheese replacement. (on a side note: the dairy free cheese smells weird, but doesn't taste too bad)
The worst part about Saturday.... we helped a family move and they served donuts to everyone. :( that was sad. Max and I skipped the donuts, but now without a lot of whining from Max. He is the king of donuts.
Sunday went well also. We even got to spend an hour swimming at the Y after church.
breakfast: cereal bar- gluten free
snack: fruit
lunch: hot dog and baked beans
snack: cereal bar
supper: walking tacos and apricots
snack: fudgecicle
the cereal bars are an amazing find. Max really likes them and they make good/easy snacks. the taco salad at the pizza place worked out well so we tried our version. Max was really upset he didn't get sour cream, so Ron and I use any sour cream either. Gavin, on the other hand, piled it on. Max had taco meat, corn tortilla chips crushed, salsa, black beans, and fake cheese. it was quite a dish!!
Monday-today
breakfast: peanut butter toast
lunch: sandwich, blueberries, carrots, and fruit rollup
snack: grapes
supper: chicken tortilla soup.
snack: cherry tomatoes and fudgecicle
Max told me he didn't have to miss any recess today. he also said he wanted to stay home from tae kwon do so he can get extra rest because he gets so tired at school. So I went on a google search, and did you know a symptom of ADD and sleepiness during the day? At least it was in the few posts I found. Who knows, right?! Max also said he didn't get a cupcake. Lily brought cupcakes to school for her birthday. He didn't get one. :( How said is that. If this gluten free thing is a bust, I am making the kid a pan of cupcakes all for him.
I called to make an appointment with the Dr for our second opinion. He is a child psychologist and I was given his name from another person I know who had taken her son to him. I had to leave a message so we shall see where this path leads us.

Not missing recess again!! WOO-HOO!! I am pretty sure at Hy-Vee in the health food section, freezer area, there are frozen gluten free donuts. I swear I saw some there when I was shopping at Christmas.
Is the new gerbil in his room? Is it making noise at night and keeping him up or waking him up? Maybe try moving it to the hallway at night or get Max a noise machine to drown out the noise of the gerbil?
Here's a recipe for dairy free sour cream http://dairyfreecooking.about.com/od/condimentschutneys/r/sourcream.htm
or maybe next time try serving him guacamole instead of sour cream? it's still creamy and yummy...
